Not all wines are made for ageing and most certainly not all wines become better with years spent in bottle. In fact, around 98% of wines in retail stores are meant for early consumption. However, there are certain wine regions and wine producers, who can create wines that can be aged for many years and even decades. Several months ago, I published a video on five great age-worth red wines (wine regions), and in this video I talk about ANOTHER five ones that can be aged and with time will only increase in complexity.

Great selection of age-worthy wines and great presentation – thank you 👍👍👍
Informative video, thank you. Chianti Classico ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great choices. And I will look into that Austian pick . Not as familiar with it. Thanks
Great info as usual. Very professionally made video.
Very interesting and informative video as always!
I can’t get enough Chianti Classico GS, and find it to be priced very well for the quality.
I've had to spend quite a bit of time breaking the myth that all red wines get better with age. My folks liked to fixate on that.
That Priorat looks like a bottle I’ve had. I love Spanish wines.
Very good choices! I like them all although I must say I prefer Blaufrankisch when it’s done on the lighter side like in Hungary and Wurttemberg… Funny thing is when I traveled through New Zealand, I wasn’t working in wine but I was impressed in Gimblett Gravels…
Very cute
Another very good video Agnes. Just one small point, Blaufrankish/Kekfrankos is a Hungarian cultivar originally; although now due the borders of Hungary being redrawn in 1920 it's point of origin is technically now in Slovenia. These are all great picks, I would add Taurasi or Aglianico del Vulture, Eger or Skeszard Bikaver (Bull's Blood) from Hungary, Saint-Joseph, Beaujolais Crus, and Erste Lage or Grosse Gewachs Spätburgunder from Germany.
There is a counsel in Priorat that judges quality as wines age, and most priorats dont age gracefully. Not like they make you think
I love the Gran Seleziones I have tried, which number three. I wonder how many of the Chianti producers make these exceptional wines?
i love italian wine ,Puglia ,Sicily Calabria incredible Wine
I thought Hermitage was always 100% syrah? Never saw any with white grapes mixed in. I don't even think they're allowed to do that in Hermitage compared to Côte-Rôtie where they can use Viognier
I have a testimonial about aged wines… the #1 wine in my life (out of ~1100 different labels) was a Sassicaia 1993 I had in 2018 (25 years old). It was mindblowing, it tasted like a 5-year wine but with completely smooth tanins and outrageously complex. I'm sure it could stand at least another 10 years given how lively it was. Another 2 outstanding wines I had was a 2003 Tignanello and a 1997 Rosemount Balmoral Shiraz. I can't say the same about the aged mid-to-high-range Bordeaux I've had. They just live less.
Ruffino gold .
Dear Agnesa, do you like Susumaniello? Can you arrange some special episode about this?
Agnes. Love your videos and your accent. May I ask where you are from ? I am a senior residing on Long Island NY. Have a modest temp controlled cellar with a decent variety. I too love the Chianti and Barolo wines.
What kind of wine your dog likes?
Wine is Elegant I Love drinking red wine 🍷
